The New Supply Isn’t Special: Understanding the Narcissist’s Game After Discard

Post a Comment

As 2024 comes to a close, I can say with pride that this was the year I stopped living for everyone else.

 As 2024 comes to a close, I can say with pride that this was the year I stopped living for everyone else.


I stopped going above and beyond for people who wouldn’t do the same for me.

I stopped being the bigger person when it meant swallowing my pain to make others feel better.

I stopped fixing what I didn’t break and carrying the weight of problems that were never mine to solve.

I stopped showing up for people who consistently failed to show up for me.

And I stopped sacrificing my happiness, peace, and joy just to keep the peace.


This year, I matched energy.

When people brought respect, I gave it back. When they brought disrespect, I set them straight.

I refused to stay silent to "keep the peace" while others crossed my boundaries.

I started calling people out on their behavior the moment it happened, no longer letting it slide.

I stopped letting fake apologies and empty promises keep me trapped in toxic cycles.


2024 was the year I finally protected my energy.

I walked away from one-sided relationships and left behind people who drained me.

I stood firm in my boundaries, even when others didn’t like them.

I stopped explaining myself to people who were never going to understand my worth.

I prioritized my happiness, pouring into myself first without guilt or apology.


This was the year I stopped shrinking myself to fit into spaces where I was never meant to be.

I stopped dimming my light for people who couldn’t handle its brightness.

I said “no” more than ever before, and I meant it every time.


As 2024 ends, I look back and see the version of myself I always wanted to become:

A version that chooses self-respect, peace, and joy unapologetically.

A version that no longer bends over backward to please others at the expense of my own soul.


This was the year I chose me and I’m never going back.

Toxic traits of covert narcissists

 Welcome to the Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Community Blog and Podcast. Today, we delve into a critical topic that affects many people: the toxic behaviors of covert narcissists. Covert narcissists are often more challenging to identify than their overt counterparts because they hide their narcissism behind a façade of concern and care. This concealment makes their toxic behaviors particularly insidious. Understanding these behaviors is essential for recognizing and protecting yourself from their harmful effects. The first toxic behavior of covert narcissists is hiding and concealing their true identity. They present themselves as caring and concerned individuals, but this is merely a manipulation tactic. Their apparent concern often feels phony or forced. Many targets of narcissists are empaths, who can detect this lack of genuineness through gut instincts and intuition. If you feel that something about their concern is off, it’s likely because it is. Recognizing this false concer...

Why do narcissist’s discard their partners

Narcissists discard their partners cruelly due to several psychological factors rooted in their personality disorder. Understanding these factors can shed light on their behavior and provide some clarity for those who have experienced such treatment. Lack of empathy is one of the defining traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Narcissists often struggle to understand or care about the feelings of others. This makes it easy for them to discard partners without considering the emotional pain they cause. Objectification of partners is another common behavior. Narcissists typically view their partners not as individuals with their own needs and emotions but as objects that serve a purpose. When a partner no longer fulfills the narcissist’s needs—whether it be admiration, validation, or control—they are seen as disposable. Narcissists have a strong need for control. Discarding a partner cruelly can be a way for the narcissist to assert dominance and control. By leaving in a hars...
